RZA’s Moving Tribute to Paul Walker

In a tragic accident over the holiday weekend, actor Paul Walker was killed in a single-car crash in Valencia, CA. Wu-Tang member and prolific music producer RZA has just put up a demo of the song “Destiny Bends”, an elegiac ballad dedicated to the actor whom he met while working on the movie Brick Mansion.

“This song, entitled “Destiny Bends” was written last night after hearing the tragic news of the loss of a good man named Paul Walker. I met Paul on the set of the film Brick Mansion, where we talked, laughed, and exchanged ideas of life and fatherhood. I only knew him personally for less than a year, but we knew each other through our work and art. We saw in each other a kindred spirit of men coming from unlikely circumstances, and rising to be the light and beacon of our family and loved ones. Men who learned the joy and pains of love in life, and success, while coming to realize that nothing is more important than family, friendship, and the brotherhood of humanity. Millions of people get to know an artist or movie star through their work, but few are allowed to cross each others’ paths and see through the veil of stardom and find the common denominator that we share.
